Clorox Malaysia Outlines Support for COVID-19 Relief Efforts

 

Hospital Sungai Buloh team received the product contributions from Clorox.

Clorox Malaysia has long stepped up to support the nation’s disaster relief efforts, working with the authorities and non-governmental organizations.

In response to the recent spike of COVID-19 cases, Clorox Malaysia has outlined support for relief efforts by contributing to two of the main public health facilities for the treatment of COVID-19 cases, Hospital Sungai Buloh and Hospital Universiti Malaya; as well as to a non-governmental organization, MERCY Malaysia. The brand contributed a total of RM80,000 in products that will be used to limit the spread of the virus in everyday life, and in the workplace at the three organizations. 

The UMMC personnel actively clean and disinfect the venue using the products contributed by Clorox. 

Cleaning and disinfection are critical in reducing the spread of COVID-19, especially in medical facilities where the risk of infection spreading from the infected to the healthy is high. Disinfecting hard surfaces is carried out frequently for this purpose, and the amount of product required daily is high.

“We really appreciate and thank Clorox for the contribution,” said Professor Dr. Nazirah binti Hasnan, UMMC Director.

Clorox Bleach and Clorox All Purpose Cleaner Spray were contributed for the thorough cleaning and disinfection of the facilities, while Clorox Expert Disinfecting Wipes are for the daily individual use of frontliners, patients and visitors at these facilities.

“We appreciate the contributions given to the frontliners,” said management of Hospital Sungai Buloh.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all of us directly or indirectly. Some of us have seen first-hand the need for more disinfection and cleaning products at hospitals. Clorox Malaysia offered support, as we are humbled by the efforts of Hospital Sungai Buloh, Hospital Universiti Malaya and MERCY Malaysia in fighting the pandemic,” said Paulo M. Lao, Sales & Marketing Director of Clorox Southeast Asia. “We are proud that our products can help to effectively clean and disinfect their facilities, and can be used by frontliners, patients and visitors for a safer environment because Clorox believes that clean matters.”

He added that third-party testing confirms the efficacy of several of Clorox’s top disinfecting products against SARS-CoV-2 strains1 including the Alpha (UK) and Beta (South African) variants of concern (VOC). These results are in line with a US Environmental Protection Agency announcement that genetic changes to the virus do not impact the efficacy of disinfectants and all disinfectants approved to kill SARS-CoV-2, will kill new strains of the virus. 

Products contributed by Clorox arrived at MERCY Malaysia, and ready to distributed to the families in need.

As a non-profit organization, MERCY Malaysia relies heavily on funding and donations from organizations and generous individuals to continue our services to provide humanitarian assistance to our beneficiaries. We sincerely thank Clorox Malaysia for reaching out to MERCY Malaysia with their contribution for the frontline workers. We all recognise the importance they play in helping the battle against this global pandemic,” added Zuraidah Mian, MERCY Malaysia’s Acting Executive Director.

The Clorox disinfection and cleaning products were distributed in early June 2021. 

I am also using the Clorox products for my home for cleaning and disinfecting.

It's never too late to get start our kid to start saving money, every kid has a wish and I am sure you know that they would asking for toys or gadgets. We can't always buy what they have wished for but it's better to get them to understand the value of money. How they can save money from young, it's not just for buying a gift for themselves but also teaches them that money doesn't comes easily. Sharing is caring, Hong Leong Bank new launch with HLB Pocket Connect, parents can start introducing financial management and education and imparting the value of money to the children from a young age. It is useful app as kids will have to earn money it by setting goals and working towards them and one step closer to their goals.  

Teaching your children about money as early as possible is about giving them a head start and time to practice their financial abilities before they become adults.

The topic of financial literacy and education has long been a challenging proposition and perhaps even a difficult topic to broach for many Malaysians. The Malaysian Insolvency Department reported a startling data that youth bankruptcy - involving those aged below 35 - made up 25.2% of bankruptcy cases from 2017 to 2019 in the country. This shows an urgent need to make financial literacy and education a key life skill to be taught to all Malaysians.

Just like charity begins at home, forming a life-long healthy relationship with money should begin at home, as early as possible. In the age of everything digital, parents can now leverage on digital tools to help them educate and engage their digital native children effectively to be financially-conscious and responsible.

HLB Pocket Connect is an interactive and personalised banking platform built for digital natives who are well acquainted with and demand hyper-personalisation, real-time gratification and highly interactive content and experiences. Available to all HLB 3-in-1 Junior Account holders, it has three proprietary features namely Earn, Save and Spend, which enable children to learn to be financially responsible under the watchful eyes of their parents, who are able to guide, manage and monitor their children’s pocket money and savings.

Under the Earn feature, parents can set tasks or goals and reward their children with extra pocket money when they complete them. Not only does this teach children the value of hard work and earned money, it also gives them sense of achievement when they are able to meet their goals.

As the account comes with reloadable Junior Debit Card for children to Spend, parents can have peace of mind knowing that they can monitor and control their children’s pocket-money spending. Not only can they top-up the pocket money through seamless transfer from their HLB Connect, they can set spending limits, control where and what their children can spend on as well as monitor real-time spending of their children.

Parents can also block or freeze the Junior Debit Card instantly if they suspect any fraudulent or improper spend, all done through their HLB Connect.
